I want to create a shell script to automatically backup MySQL DB. I will later copy it to an s3 bucket.



I have created the following shell script:



#vim /home/ubuntu/backup/mysqlbackup.sh

#!/bin/bash
## Specify the name of the database that you want to backupbackup

# Database credentials
USER="user1"
PASSWORD="password"
HOST="hostname.compute.amazonaws.com"
DB_NAME="db1"

#Backup_Directory_Locations
BACKUPROOT="/home/ubuntu/backup"
TSTAMP=$(date +"%d-%b-%Y-%H-%M-%S")
S3BUCKET="s3://s3bucket"
#LOG_FILE="/home/ubuntu/backup/log/dump.log"

mysqldump -h <HOST> -u <USER> --database <DB_NAME> -p"$PASSWORD" > $BACKUPROOT/$DB_NAME-$TSTAMP.sql


Then from the command line, I run the script:



sudo bash -x ./mysqlbackup.sh


And it fails, telling me:




HOST: No such file or directory




enter image description here

          <HOST>. <DB_NAME> etc, are just placeholders.



          They should be replaced by actual strings or shell variable expansions "$HOST", "$DB_NAME" and so on - just as you have done with -p"$PASSWORD"



          The error message is because < and > are redirection operators.
